    Welp, time to delete that shit and find replacements. Notepad++ is a solid upgrade over notepad, there must be something similar for paint that doesn’t have a steep learning curve?

      PaintDotNet is what I used to use on windows. It was a great upgrade without being too complex.

        PaintDotNet is perfect if you only need some commonly used “pro” features. It’s a relatively easy transition from paint.

          All I use paint for is like drawing red underlines under text in screen grabs and shit like that. The most ‘pro’ feature I ever use is when I sometimes misclick the rounded rectangle tool instead of the rectangle tool and I’m too lazy to fix it. I’ll give that a shot tho, thanks.

              No shit? I’ve been using Greenshot for screenshots for a while (stupid Foxhole closing tooltips whenever I hit shift for the snip tool hotkey) but had no idea it did anything more than that. I’ll take a look, thanks!

        Does that even run on windows without a bunch of hoop-jumping and some jank-ass chunky qt-style UI elements? I seriously haven’t looked at GIMP in like 25 years.

          I’ve been using it off and on for over twenty years and it’s never needed more than running the installer to get it working on Windows in that time…

            Fair enough, I haven’t looked at it at all since I last used linux a couple decades ago, that’s just been my experience with trying to use other linux-native software on windows.
